From Ray-Bain to Wigs, American buyers can see unexpected value increase

When US President Donald Trump slapped a large-to-up-tariff on imports from around the world, Americans increased the pending prices for Champagne, Parmeson and Ferris.

But the effect on the pocket is very much beyond things like luxury cars and expert foods. As new levy is effective – starting on Saturday for 10% base rate – manufacturers and suppliers from daily supermarkets to shoes to beauty products to sex toys, will find out how much customers have to pass this extra cost.

During Trump’s first term, when he imposed too much limited tariffs on China, many companies reported that they lack pricing power to pass costs for consumers.

There are some under-orders imports which can now be more expensive.

Joe Biden’s Ray-Ban Aviars were an integral part of his look. In the 1930s, the reputed sunglasses worn by Tom Cruise in top gun films by the US Army Air Corps in the first and after, helped the former President to his all -American image.

Yet most of the aviaters are actually built in a small mountain village on Italian dolomites, before they were sent worldwide including the US.

This is because with other popular brands including Ray-Ban, Oliver, Oliver Peoples, and Vogue Ivier, the French-Italian eye-point is owned by veteran Esselorloluxotica SA, which is the largest company in the region with more than the market cap € 100 billion. In 2024, its sales to North America were around € 12 billion.

Now facing a rate of 20% with the European Union – Once on 9 April, accessible tariff kicks – can be much more expensive than accessing the mavric character of the cruise.

Wig, eyelids and sex toys

According to China’s official Xinhua news agency, China is the world’s largest producer and exporter of wigs, with exports to about $ 3 billion in 2022. It is an account of about 80% of the global hair accessories market, and the US is a long -standing primary destination.

Americans, who monitors cosmetic beauty treatment, may eventually have to put more fork for their anti-rinkal injection. While the specific levy on pharmaceuticals has not been announced yet, the migration may prove to be temporary.

Production occurs in a high security plant, which is made from botulinum toxin, one of the world’s most toxic substances. The tariff increases any price, which will hit American consumers as Botox has not been covered by Botox insurance for beauty purposes. Abbvie reported about $ 1.7 billion Botox cosmetic sales in 2024.
